The COVID-19 pandemic offered an unprecedented opportunity to look at changes in the Earth system in response to reduced human activity. Your challenge is to develop tools to better understand changes in the interconnected Earth system as seen through the EO Dashboard.
Did you know that over 11,000 fatalities in Central America recorded by Mitch hurricane only in 1998? That is why I designed a tracker with an alert to tell you before it. Especially when we knew that according to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, the hurricane is getting worse every year. We focused on the relation between Hurricane and Covid-19. There is a strong relationship between the hurricane and increasing CO2 in the air, which will affect the health of the respiratory system in humans, especially the one who has covid-19. So we developed a tool that can link the satellites with our app. It will make an alert when a hurricane is coming
When we were searching for a solution for our idea, we found a headline that said, "JTA launches quake and tsunami warning app in English," we started searching for this idea more and more we found that it is a kind of warning app for Japanese people and It crossed our mind that why we do not develop an application that can have an alert and connected to the satellites. We start to research how this application can be made. We did a simulation for the app in the Adobe xd program. We chose to use this program as it has a tool that can convert the design to flutter codes. Flutter and dart are programming languages that can be used in both Android and IOS. We also found that python will fit our idea mechanism. You can develop this program with python, incredibly advanced libraries (Numpy, Pandas, and Madbloods). The application will use data science and advanced AI to collect and facilitate many data from Nasa satellites so it can recognize the hurricane and make an alert. Then you can connect with Flutter to use Flutter as GUI and Python as functions. We designed this app with a simple user interface to help many people use it.
When we searched
According to Annual Disaster/Death Statistics for US Storms Nationwide, hurricanes annually account for an average of 17 deaths.
Also, according to Artemis. Bm 2021 hurricane season forecasts provide a range of views and forecasts for the 2021 hurricane season from leading meteorologists. The 2021 hurricane forecast table will be updated throughout the year as updates are published, and storms occur. Some many storms and hurricanes cause death, and that is why we choose this idea.
We did a small survey to help us estimate the results, and we found that over 80% said that they would use this application.
We hope to decrease the number of injurers and death from hurricanes and storms.
We chose this challenge as we found the hurricane problem is getting worse and from our role as teenagers who have passion for technology to take action in this problem. We started to facilitate the task among us also we get great results in the end. We did a simulation for the app in the Adobe xd program. We chose to use this program as it has a tool that can convert the design to flutter codes. Flutter and dart are programming languages that can be used in both Android and IOS. We also found that python will fit our idea mechanism. Like that, you can develop this program with python, incredibly advanced libraries (Numpy, Pandas, and Madbloods). The application will use data science and advanced AI to collect and facilitate many data from Nasa satellites so it can recognize the hurricane and make an alert. Then you can connect with Flutter to use Flutter as GUI and Python as functions.
A big problem that faced us was that we connected virtually as we cannot meet because of Covid-19, but we did meetings online, and it came out great. We did not expect our discussion to be an excellent academic discussion, even though we did not see each other.
We used data from the Nasa website, which provide us with the pictures we need to make the application. We used these images to provide it to the application and with both AI and data science to the application to compare the current picture (View of the ocean from the satellites and compare it if the pictures are similar to the pictures of a hurricane it will create an alert.

There is a strong relation between Covid-19 and hurricanes which will help the EO dashboard in its statistics.
According to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, the hurricane is getting worse every year, which means that carbon dioxide will increase. When the carbon dioxide increases, breathing problems will found, which will affect the Covid-19 patient, and that's what I observed when I was looking at the EO Dashboard.
